Abstract:
The invention provides an electrochemical cell which includes a first electrode and a second electrode which is a counter electrode to said first electrode, and an electrolyte material interposed there between. The first electrode includes an alkali metal phosphorous compound doped with an element having a valence state greater than that of the alkali metal.
Abstract:
The invention provides novel lithium-mixed metal materials which, upon electrochemical interaction, release lithium ions, and are capable of reversibly cycling lithium ions. The invention provides a rechargeable lithium battery which comprises an electrode formed from the novel lithium-mixed metal materials. Methods for making the novel lithium-mixed metal materials and methods for using such lithium-mixed metal materials in electrochemical cells are also provided. The lithium-mixed metal materials comprise lithium and at least one other metal besides lithium. Preferred materials are lithium-mixed metal phosphates which contain lithium and two other metals besides lithium.

Abstract:
The invention provides an electrochemical cell having an electrolyte which comprises a solute, a solvent, and an additive. The additive is a dialkylamide. The dialkylamide lessens the extent of decomposition of the solute, which is a lithium salt. The ionic species of the lithium salt are thereby preserved. The additive also prevents damage to active material by absorbing excess charge energy below the breakdown potential of the active material.
Abstract:
A laminate structure or precursor paste thereof characterized by being formed from a composition comprising a polymeric material and a plasticizer. The plasticizer being at least one compound represented by the following general formula where R is a low alkyl selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, butyl, pentyl and hexyl.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a battery design for bi-cell polymer matrix batteries. Each bi-cell comprises, sequentially, a first counter electrode, a first separator membrane, a centrally located electrode, a second separator membrane, and a second counter electrode. The current collector of each of the counter electrodes is positioned other than medially within the counter electrode. Generally, the current collector of the counter electrode is located within the outer half of the counter electrode. When the current collector is located at the extreme outer edge of the counter electrode, a capping film of polymer matrix material is preferably laminated to the perforated current collector, and, through the perforated current collector, to the counter electrode material itself.
Abstract:
A method for forming the composition stabilized against capacity degradation comprises particles of spinel lithium manganese oxide (LMO) enriched with lithium by a decomposition product of lithium carbonate forming a part of each said particle and characterized by a reduced surface area and increased capacity expressed in milliamp hours per gram as compared to non-enriched spinel.
